Best place in USA

.
"This will be difficult to photo blog", I thought, as the camera disappeared bubble bubble bubble into the deep dark green waters next to the dock.

Reverting now to manual mode.....

We spent the day driving round Chincoteague day dreaming of buying a place down here. Yes, some places cost $100,000,000,000 but there are daggy little shacks at around $100K.

Then it was back to the best bits of yesterday: beach, marshland, ice cream shop, docks, etc etc etc. Finally we hit the pool and played fish for a while before going on a sunset cruise (which is where I lost the camera).

Since there is no camera to contradict me, I can assert that the cruise was indescribably beautiful. The sky was blue, the temperature warm (not hot). Gentle swell below, birds flying formation above, sunshine sparkling on the water all around. Either side of the setting sun where sun dogs (rainbows) iridescence in the clouds. We saw
  • a bald eagle flying high overhead
  • pelicans playing with ground effects as they swooped low over the water
  • marshes with yellow sheens stretching to the horizon
  • rare birds nesting on low sand islands
I could go on (and on and on and on) about it but suffice to say that in the entire Unites States, this is the best-est we've ever seen.
